BLOB: Binary Large Object

The futuristic structure and spacious interior are an eye-catching addition to say the least, turning The Blob into a beacon in the city. It has rapidly become a popular meeting spot for Eindhoven locals. The structure is 25 metres high, covered in glass and steel. It stands shoulder to shoulder with the 'Philips light tower', linking it to the Admirant.

The Blob is flanked by two other structures in the same style that serve as the entrance to an underground bicycle garage, which accommodates up to 1,700 bicycles.
